To those of you who replied to my question, thanks. My friend followed the
advice to get a Sony cassette adaptor ... and it works fine. So the old no
name adaptor has been retired. The only downside is that the man in the
Sony shop would only sell him the adaptor with a power adaptor as well
(which he didn't need), but that's Sony all over I guess.

Buying that cassette adaptor that worked well in the Golf is a major step.
IMHO, I haven't had much trouble with cassette adaptors no matter what car
stereo I have used them in -- I mainly used them with OEM units of varying
ages and even with some cheap "fast-forward/eject" units. I have also heard
positive stories from people whom I know who have used them with good
results.
The adaptors I have used are the original Recoton design, the Radio Shack
unit (which is really the Recoton design, a Discwasher-badged original
Recoton design, a Sony unit belonging to a friend and another Kenwood unit
belonging to a friend who recently bought a portable CD player.
Also, I have had success with using one of these adaptors to play a Discman
that I had through an old compact "three-in-one" music centre which had no
auxiliary inputs. It shows that these adaptors can work in allowing one to
play a Discman or MD Walkman through equipment where there are no auxiliary
inputs, such as cheap old "three-in-one" music centres, most "ghetto
blasters" and some cassette-based background-music players.
With regards,
